sparkmane_ reacted to Grabhanem in PSu compatibility
That should be fine-- that's an extremely good 550W PSU, so it should handle a 5700 no problem. GN did a video where they ran all sorts of hardware off a 450W PSU-- no graphics card short of liquid cooled monstrosities draws more than 300W because it's near impossible to cool more than that in a standard 2-3 slot cooler.
PSU recommendations came from a time when high 12V power was a luxury item-- a 450W PSU from 15-20 years ago might only supply 350W on the 12V rail since older processors used mostly 5V power, thus they give plenty of headroom to not get in trouble.

sparkmane_ reacted to Delnith in 3700x and Gigabyte x570 Gaming X
Early adopter, for better or worse. Everything is setup and working well this far, but I have one thing I cannot get set how I like yet, fan speeds and temperatures. Based on the BIOS, my CPU idle speeds are around 30-35C. But in Gigabyte's Smart Fan 5 software, it reports idle speeds of anywhere from 48-65C, and this fluctuates very often, not staying at any particular temp. With this said, the fans are correlating, often going from 60% to 80 or even 100% use. This fan jump is over the course of MAYBE 1-2 seconds.
Frankly, this far it is annoying, and I am trying to determine if that old 20C discrepancy exists again and this is being misinterpreted. If anyone has suggestions on how to move forward I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
*If i can get more data I will attach it here when I find it.
EDIT/UPDATE: I did a quick recording of my temps and fan speed using the Gigabyte SIV software and will attach below
